Time to increase upgrades to captain? As the effects of the FO hiring freeze (and subsequent shortage) age out, a follow on captain shortage was always a strong possibility. How many Compass captains already have CJOs from the majors for when they ramp up training after summer?

Yep, the captain shortage is probably here, summer flying picks up, didn't upgrade in the winter/spring, now attrition will pick up too.
I'm trying to get out! No luck yet, but more and more of my friends are getting CJOs. The major hiring standards haven't come down to me yet haha

Not that short on CA yet, still barely any crib pay going out for CA. Also, the footprint for CA upgrade is far smaller, so if they get a bit short they can run a big CA class very easily.

Ps. I like how no one calls it critical pay anymore, thanks to G money. It will always be crib pay now lol

Heard a rumor today that the chief told a class of upgrades that they “have placed a bid” for UA birds

I wouldn’t doubt it. The question is will we get it? Mesa will probably come in at the last minute like our last UA bid. Though I know they are having staffing issues and I’m sure UA can’t be happy with that.

Compass opens GUM crew base for UA flying with full flow agreements. Heard it here first!!
